2017 Jeep Renegade

I HAVE HAD THE JEEP RENEGADE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND THE CAR HAS STARTED TO JERK INTO GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 30 MILES PER HOUR. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE CHANGED GAS TYPES AND GOTTEN NEW AIR FILTERS, ETC. WITH NO RESOLUTION. IT SEEMS THAT FROM READING THE REVIEWS ON THIS SITE, THERE IS SOME COMMON EXPERIENCES FROM OTHER JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS. AT THIS POINT IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A DANGER TO THE DRIVER BUT CURIOUS TO KNOW IF IT WILL LEAD TO A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM LONG TERM. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON; TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER (HAVE AN CHRYSLER?JEEP FACTORY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS INFORMED THAT BECAUSE THE OXYGEN SENSOR HARNESS WAS CHEWED BY A RODENT (PROBABLY A CHIPMUNK) THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER REPAIR. I HAVE SINCE OUT THAT THE SHEATHING FOR WIRES USED BY THE MANUFACTURE IS MADE FROM SOYBEAN OIL OR PEANUT BASED OIL. I ASK IS THIS, MY FAULT OR THE MANUFACTURERS FAULT? I DID NOT NOR WOULD I PUT RODENT FOOD IN A VEHICLE. IF RODENTS CHEW BRAKE LIGHTS , THIS COULD CAUSE A FATAL CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PARKED IN MY HOME DRIVEWAY. I HAVE THE REPAIR INVOICE AND THE CHEWED OXYGEN SENSOR W/HARNESS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CAR JERKS TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE SERVICE CENTER 4 TIMES FOR THEM TO LOOK INTO/ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I'VE HAD ENDLESS HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH JEEP/SERVICE CENTER TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED. EACH TIME IT'S TAKEN INTO THE SHOP, THEY CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE SAME ISSUE TO OCCUR. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENS TO US ON A DAILY BASIS. I BASICALLY HAVE GIVEN UP HOPE IN JEEPS ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE AS WE'VE RECEIVED NO RESOLUTION YEARS LATER. I'VE ALSO BEEN INFORMED IT'S THE OPERATING SYSTEM WITHIN THE JEEP BEING A 9 SPEED, BUT IT DIDN'T DO THIS FROM THE START, IT OCCURRED ABOUT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE.

THE VEHICLE STALLS/JERKS... WHEN I'M DRIVING MY VEHICLE HESITATES AND SHIFTS WHILE TAKING OFF FROM 26 MPH. STALLS EXTREMELY HARD TO SHIFT GEARS. IT SCARES ME THAT IT'S GOING TO TURN OFF OR I MIGHT HIT SOMEONE OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I CAN'T CONTROL VEHICLE WHEN IT STALLS. THIS HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIME AND I HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE NOT EVEN FOR A YEAR. *TR

ENGINE BURNS OIL TO THE POINT TO WHERE IT IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE WITHOUT CONSTANTLY ADDING OIL BETWEEN SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE INTERVALS. THE ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT IS GASPING FOR AIR AFTER COMING TO A HALT AND THEN STARTING AGAIN(STOP SIGN, MAKING A LEFT TURN AFTER YIELDING TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, ETC.). ADDITIONALLY, THE FOG LIGHT HOUSING ON BOTH SIDES IS COMPLETED BURNED AND MELTED. THIS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A WIRING ISSUE CAUSING TOO MUCH POWER TO GO TO THE BULBS OR THE RECOMMENDED BULBS MAY BE TOO HOT. THE ENGINE ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING THROUGH ALL 39,000 MILES ON IT. THE FOG LIGHT HOUSING CONCERN WAS JUST DISCOVERED ON 4/15/2020 HOWEVER I'M SURE THE ISSUE WAS PREVALENT BEFORE HAND. MANY FRIENDS OF MINE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE ALSO EXPRESSED BOTH AFOREMENTIONED CONCERNS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET I GOT A WEIRD MESSAGE THAT SAID CAR MUST BE IN PARK TO SHIFT GEARS. I TURNED INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT AND THEN THE CAR JUST STALLED OUT. THE CAR WAS STILL ON BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NO POWER STEERING OR ANYTHING. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP I PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURNED IT OFF AND THEN TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND IT STALLED FOR 10-15 SECONDS THEN FINALLY TURNED OVER. AS MANY TIMES AS THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED WHY ARE THERE NO RECALLS ON THIS? TO HAVE YOUR CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHILE DRIVING IS DEFINITELY NOT IDEAL NOR IS IT SAFE TO SAY THE LEAST.

I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND MY VEHICLE JUST STOPPED. ENGINE WAS STILL ON BUT JUST QUIT MOVING I PRESSED THE GAS BUT NO RESPONSE. I TURNED THE IGNITION OF AND BACK ON AND IT STARTED BUT THEN AN SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING CAME UP ON THE DASH. I CAN'T BELIEVE AN AIR BAG WARNING WOULD MAKE THE VEHICLE STOP IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING AND NO CONTROL.
